Things are quite expensive here at Abidjan. Well, almost everything! But the things which are not relatively expensive are land, leasehold, electricity, cacao, coffee and some fruits like mango. All other essential commodities can be three times more expense than Dhaka. But everyday new constructions are coming up. Seems like economy is going to get a stronger foothold, although the elections seems at least another year away. I met some Bangladeshi businessmen here at Abidjan yesterday. They are here for last 10-11 years. They say, Bangladesh investors can get huge profit from investing here in Cote d'Ivoire. I hope there will be a lot of manpower coming into these parts of the world from Bangladesh. I hope the facilitate some information here in this regard. I start with the procedure to open a business here in Abidjan. Following is a we translation from the official registre du commerce:




STEPS AND PROCEDURES
With the aim of simplify the formalities of creation of a company, it was instituted a single counter of the investment. Located in the Center of Promotion of Investments (CEPICI), its competence extends to the only formalities from formation of companies which go, strictly speaking, of the recording of the statutes to the publication, the opinion of creation while passing by the registration of the company to the register of trade and loan on personal property.

However, and conformément as well with the spirit of these texts as to the recommendations made by the Government on the matter, the CEPICI deals with, downstream, the achievement of certain formalities complementary to tax, social or different nature making it possible to carry out the follow-up of the company. All the formalities relating to the formation of company can also be made while being addressed to law firms.
